What is the best poker game to play ?

Hey @Tnasty93,

It's kind of like asking "What's the best flavor of ice cream?"—it really depends on your personal taste. But I'll give you a rundown on some of the most popular poker games out there:

• Texas Hold'em: This is probably the most popular form of poker and for many, the 'best' game. The rules are relatively simple, and it offers a good balance of luck and strategy. Plus, it's the game of choice at most major tournaments (like the WSOP), which adds to its appeal.
• Pot Limit Omaha (PLO): If you're looking for a little more action, PLO might be your game. You get four hole cards instead of two, which greatly increases the number of possible hands. The game can be a bit more volatile, but it's super fun if you like lots of big pots and lots of action.
• Seven Card Stud: This is an old-school game that was once the most popular form of poker. It's a slower-paced game that requires a good deal of strategy and memory since you need to keep track of all the dealt cards.
• Razz: If you like lowball games, Razz is an interesting variant where the lowest hand wins. It's a variation of Seven Card Stud but turns the traditional poker hand rankings on its head.
• Five Card Draw: The original kitchen table game. It's not as common in casinos these days, but it's a classic and a great one for casual home games.

Ultimately, the 'best' poker game is the one you enjoy the most and feel the most comfortable playing.
